What issue are you seeing?
When running /fast off the message is going through to the chat like a normal message rather than being handled as a command. Same with /fast status. I can use /fast as a toggle but that doesn't match the documentation.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 019f1b4c-5f68-71a2-83be-548fbcca0918
What is the expected behavior?
/fast off should disable Fast mode.
/fast status should report whether Fast mode is on or off.
Neither command should be sent to the assistant as chat text.
Additional information
Docs say /fast on, /fast off, and /fast status are valid
Repro steps
- Start codex-cli 0.142.5.
- Confirm banner shows gpt-5.5 xhigh fast.
- Type /fast off at the start of the TUI composer.
- Observe it is submitted as a normal chat message.
- Repeat with /fast status.
